Mark Randall... new deal
Randall and Gibbs sign new contracts
Arsenal can today confirm that Mark Randall and Kieran Gibbs have signed new contracts with the Club.
Both joined the Gunners as scholars in the summer of 2006 and went on to sign professional terms in 2007.
Randall (18) made his first team debut against West Bromwich Albion in the League Cup in October 2006 and has gone on to appear six times for the first team. Having spent time on loan with Championship side Burnley last season he returned to feature in the last League game of the season against Sunderland, and played in six of the Club’s pre-season friendlies.
Gibbs, also 18, made his first team bows for the Gunners last season in the Carling Cup wins over Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers. Kieran shot to prominence in the FA Youth Cup run to the semi-final in 2007, grabbing a goal in both legs of the last four defeat to Manchester United.
After spending a loan spell with Norwich City in January, Kieran returned to finish the season with the Arsenal Reserves. Continuing to impress pre-season, Gibbs adapted from his usual midfield role to occupy the left-back position against Juventus in the Emirates Cup.
Everyone at Arsenal wishes both Mark and Kieran continued success with the Club.
